Hi. I have a Denon UD-M5 that won't turn on; when I press the power
button ... nothing. No lights, no hum, no nothing (It's plugged in
and I checked all the fuses.) My problem is that I bought a new CD
player (a Yamaha DVD-e600) and the Denon had my 2 favorite CDs in it
when it died. Is there any way for me to get those CDs out?

Look on the front of the drawer - there is usually a small hole.
Straighten a paper clip and push it in the hole to release the drawer
catch and it will pop open.

You're thinking of a CD-DOM drive, not a home unit. This one, IIRC has an
IC protector or picofuse bad.

Thanks for your replies. In the end I took a couple of hours on a
Saturday and destructed it to get my CDs out. Very satisfying. Now I've
got some loose circuit boards tied together by bits of wire - I'm going
to see if there's any body who can recover some of the toxic stuff from
it. I hate just throwing that stuff in the trash.
